Storyline

A group of criminals would like to sell some weapons for an undercover policeman. Johan Falk's team is watching the operation meanwhile Frank Wagner is also in the game. Rydell, the gang leader changes his mind and doesn't sell the weapons 'cause he found someone else for a bigger shipment. Later on Frank got a list what weapons required by the new buyer and there are not just AK's demanded. Some more serious equipments - e.g. automated grenade launcher - are needed, too. Frank wants to quit from the gang so he is forwarding the list to Johan. The mysterious buyer is a mercenary from Serbia.

User Reviews

Really good.

This sequel works better then the first movie GSI. Its an easier narrative and also has more suspense. The action is also better directed/written then it was in GSI. As downside it doesn't work completely on its own but must be viewed after GSI. It also isn't as well-made as the the 3 original Johan Falck movies. It does lack the the end twist Anders Nilsson successfully created in Executive Protection and The Third Wave.

But this is a fresh alternative (and better) to other Swedish police movies (Beck and Wallander) That makes me want to see the rest of the series.

It also feels a lot more realistic then most other police movies. And Joel Kinnaman works very good for the movie, as does the rest of the cast. Highly recommended.
